"This Cass Corridor restaurant is a must for those looking for a delicious lunch spot. Select from a variety of sandwiches like the Corner Deli, a classic Italian cold cut combination of mortadella, salami, and capocollo, or the “Want Nona to Make You a Meatball?” sandwich (the answer is always yes). Don’t miss out on the pepperoni rolls, which are only available on Thursdays. A full bar serves Negronis, spritzes, and all the classic Italian cocktails, while the retail section has an assortment of pasta, sauces, wine, and other sweet treats. Place orders for carryout online." - Courtney Burk
"Cass Corridor restaurant Rocco’s pays tribute to the old-school Italian delis in a modern space. Here, customers can find a meal, grab a glass of wine, or take something home from the glass case stuffed with meats, cheeses, and olives. Choose from sandwich options such as the Zio Freddo’s Got Serious Beef with giardiniera-braised beef and provolone or the stellar Eggplant Parm with mozzarella, Parm, marinara, and basil. You also can’t go wrong with the Ode to the Corner Deli, a classic Italian cold cut with mortadella, salami, and capocollo. Don’t sleep on their pepperoni roll, either. Place orders for carryout online." - Danny Palumbo
"Modern Italian deli Rocco’s has a way with sandwiches and the Zio Freddo’s Got Serious Beef is among the best of the bunch. The staff starts by melting provolone over a crusty hoagie roll and then stuffs it full of fragrant beef braised with slightly spicy giardiniera. Place orders online for curbside pickup." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This modern, minimalist Italian deli and restaurant offers a wide variety of deli sandwiches, take-and-bake meals, and groceries. Order at the counter, choosing from options like the ultra-juicy Zio Freddo’s Got Serious Beef sandwich or a veggie-friendly Someone’s Been in the Garden, stacked with flavorful eggplant, zucchini, summer square, bell peppers, cheese, and a creamy pesto aioli. The lunch counter also offers a selection of wine and cocktails as well as espresso for those who want to stick around for a leisurely lunch." - Danny Palumbo
"A deli in Detroit known for slinging modern Italian sandwiches with a chef’s creative touch, Rocco’s gets absurdly busy during lunch for a reason: All of its sandwiches are packed with flavor, thought, and care. Rocco’s also has a rather handy retail side where visitors can purchase cans of tomatoes, pasta, olive oil, and Italian meats and cheeses sliced to order from the full service deli counter." - Danny Palumbo
